Jism Lyrics by Tindersticks

The First Tindersticks Album ‎

1993

If she'd have known, she'd have shown me in
I need to taste her pain for encouragement
If she'd have known, she'd have shown me in
I need to taste her pain for accomplishment

See, I can only take it out on you
There's no one else I can trust
See, I can only take it out on you
There's no one else but us around

You hide these things so well
There's no finding
You hide these things so well
There's no finding, no finding

And the pink runs into the blue
If there are no edges, how do I know
Where you are tonight? I need these paper cuts
Need those gravel grinds, need those pinches to wake me

Give up that trust, take this power I offer
Oh, the deeper I go, the further I fall
The more I know, the tighter your grip around me
So easily broken, running down your skin

And the pink runs into the blue
If there's ever anyone else, I'll understand and kill them
And I'll overflow your every inlet
You will not cough and spit, you'll welcome me in

And I tell you with my tongue between your toes
"If there's ever anyone else, don't let them do this"
And I'll laugh and revel as you scratch and crawl
If there's ever anyone else, just show them the ugliness

You hide these things so well
There's no finding
You hide these things so well
There's no finding, no finding
